Kindergartner Nina gets mad "when it's my turn to talk and nobody will listen," "when you make a promise and then you break it," etc. Series of vivid double-page watercolor vignettes featuring expressive dialogue explore each frustrating situation. A spread devoted to Nina's revelation that she feels better "when you let me tell you how angry I am!" concludes this cathartic and empowering book.
